Hi steemit, back again with @muklis, a little telling about how I get my idea of posting today. My idea to write a post today in because at my home the arrival of guests who are not in undanh hehehehe, the animals that I think is very special ie bats.
I said that this animal has a great ability because after reading some books I just know the ability of this bat.So in my writing this let us discuss about this special mammal, either from the type to the ability
It turns out that bats are the only mammals that can fly.
Bats can fly in the dark night. Obviously without crashing the object in front of him.
When flying, bats rely on the ear as a sense of hearing. Bats will make a sound from his mouth. The high-frequency sound vibration is about the object in front of it, then reflected back.
The reflection of the sound will then be received ear of this bat. Therefore, bats can determine the type of direction and distance of objects in front of it, this ability is also called ultra sonic.
Bats also use sensitive smell to get their food. Bat Foods are fruits and small insects. From a distance the bat can smell the ripe fruit with its sense of smell.
Bats are vertebrates that multiply by childbirth. Bats like dark dwellings like caves, attics and ceilings.
There are also bats hanging on the branches of trees. Bats will come out at nightfall to find food. To rely on rocks in the cave, bats have claws on the top of their wings.
Characteristics of Bats.
A. This animal is the only one flying mammals.
B. The type of animal consists of:
fruit-eating bats.
Fish-eating bats.
Long tongue bats.
frog bats.
vampire bat.
C. Live in a damp and dark cave or in a tall tree.
D. Foraging at night (nocturnal).
E. Sleep during the day with the situation hanging upside down.
F. Has a very sharp hearing power.
G. Has the ability of ekolokasi that is using sound waves to know the position of prey.
H. At the time of flying bats issue a high-frequency (ultrasonic) sound which if the object will generate reflection. The reflection of this sound is captured by the ear of a bat so that it can know the size, distance, and direction of the object in a short time.
Bat habitat
These animals are often found in a very dark cave.Bat including mammals, animals that breastfeed their children and breed by childbirth. Bats are also the only flying mammals. This animal is very unique, because it has the ability to fly and find food at night. Because of its activity at night then the bat is one of the nocturnal animals. Nocturnal animals are more activity through the night. While at noon bats sleep with head position belo.
Viewed from the food there are several types of bats, among others:
Fruit-eating bats.
Insectivorous bats.
Blood-sucking bats.
The special features that bats have are:
Have the ability of ekolokasi that is able to use sound waves (sonar) to detect the surrounding circumstances.
Other special features about bats:
Bats include flying mammals.
Bats look for food at night and sleep during the day with the head down.
Bats have a sharp sense of hearing and hearing.
Bats are able to produce high-frequency sounds.
The Types Of The Most Bizarre Bats In The World.
This list is a list of 7 most unusual bats around us. Here are 7 Most Strange Bats in the World:
- Banana Bats.
an exclusive species for western Mexico, a banana bat famous for its long, longest snout of any bat (relative to size).
These animals are nectarivorous, which means eating on nectar which is an important pollinator in tropical forest habitat. It gets its name because it is often found in banana plantations.
- Ghost Bat.
This white-haired bat is found in tropical rainforest from Mexico to Brazil, and also on the island of Trinidad, in the Caribbean. It is a solitary animal that spends the day nesting under a palm leaf, and then flies high at night, hunting moths and other flying insects.
- Chapin's Bat.
This bat has a strange "hair", and the male bat produces a strange odor to attract the attention of a female during the breeding season. They eat insects and live in the rain forest of Central Africa.
- Frizzy Bat Bats.
this fruit-eating species is found in Mexico and Central America, where it is known as "Murcielago viejito" (Murcelago viejito) or Murcielago zopilote ("Condor bats"), because its body is somewhat naked and wrinkled. They have large folds of skin that they use as a mask to cover their faces when they sleep.
- Big Eared Bat.
These flying bats eat flying insects, like other bats, using echolocation to find their prey, their large ears give them far better hearing than a small-eared bat. They have a diverse genera and are found in many parts of the world.
- Angler Angler.
These large bats live in Mexico, Central and South America and mostly eat fish. Use long-clawed legs to take fish on the water surface and then eat through their wings. which is relatively smaller than the type of Fishing Bat is the Lesser Fishing Bat whose food is water insects.
- Bat-Ghost Bat.
Ghost Ghost bats are scattered throughout the New World, from the southern United States to Peru. They barely nose, have a strange strange skin flap on their faces and a very prominent forehead that gives them a very strange appearance. They eat nocturnal insects.
The shape of the bat's ear changes in a tenth of a second. The most famous flying mammal in the field of navigation and chasing prey in the dark, it turns their ears in a tenth of a second to make their hearing sharper.

With sonar systems, they can maneuver and identify prey in difficult situations. Serves as an antenna, the bat's ear shape is critical for receiving ultrasonic sounds.
Bats can change the shape of the ear in just a tenth of a second. They changed their outer ears for more extreme configurations, says Rolf Muller of Virginia Tech.
For comparison, Muller provides an analogy with human flicker. One human flicker two to three times in the same period. With a change in shape, sensitivity to hear animals also experienced a qualitative change.
Research conducted by Virginia Tech and Shandong University was able to reconstruct the three-dimensional shape of the horseshoe bat's ears in a short period of time. Using computer analysis of the deformation form, the researchers found that the auditory configuration can be matched to the animal's task. Therefore, the change of shape becomes one way of adapting animals in a short time.
Prior research by Muller provides insight into the shape of the bat's ears in different species and illustrates the shape of the ear by the workings of the bat's navigation.
The image of bats since ancient times is always scary. Besides always likened to vampire blood drinkers, also bats are considered as pests and dirty animals.
This frightening image is what causes bats to continue being hunted. Or also some types of bats hunted, because the meat is good to eat. Only recently was realized, many misunderstandings concerning this bat. Many bionic experts are now researching bats, especially to find out the echolocation or echolocation functionality they possess.
Around the world today there are about 1000 kinds of bats, ranging from the biggest bats called flying dogs to the smallest named bat bats. What attracts biologists, bats are the only mammals that can fly. The bone in the bat wings is also similar to the human finger bone. In addition there are only a few types of blood drinking bats, which mainly drink the blood of large animals.
The most interesting of the experts is the ability of the bat to fly in the dark, using ultrasonic sound reflection so as not to hit the object in front of him.
This ultrasonic sound reflection called Echolocation is also used to recognize and track the position of its prey. When flying bats make high-frequency sounds that are not heard by human ears. It is this sound recapture that is recaptured, and becomes a sort of radar of direction. The term echolocation was introduced by Donald Griffin in 1944.
The bionic experts, who examine the techniques developed by nature to be imitated and developed for the benefit of humans, continue to examine this echolocation function. Indeed, animals that have high-frequency sound tuning capabilities are not just bats. But it is the bat that attracts the most attention. The automotive industry, for example, is now developing a kind of echolocation device, to improve safety while driving a car.
The Daimler-Chrysler car factory in Germany, completes the most expensive type of Mercedes with Echolocation equipment. With these ultrasonic tuning devices, Mercedes's state-of-the-art car has the ability to maintain a safe distance with the car in front of it. If the distance with the car in front is too close, the echolocation device mounted on the front, will send a signal to the control computer in the car. Automatically reduced car speed, and safe distance maintained.
The bionic experts say, echolocation equipment mounted on Mercedes cars are classified as sophisticated. But compared to echolocation in bats, man-made devices are meaningless.
In bats, high frequency tuners in addition to having the function of recognizing the distance, is also able to recognize the shape, movement or body temperature of the object in front of it. That way kelelewar able to recognize its prey in total darkness.
Experts at Yale University UK, are now also developing robots that have echolocation capabilities. Sonar equipment developed by experts under the leadership of Roman Kuc professor, mentioned more sophisticated than the sonar mounted on the front of the Mercedes car. In a study that has lasted 10 years, successfully developed sonar equipment that serves as a location locator, as well as recognize the object.
Previously robots must be equipped with two different equipment, namely sonar to determine the location and camera to recognize the object. In principle robotics experts at Yale University make use of already available technology. In the arm, robots equipped with high frequency sound transmitting equipment. The reflection is then captured by a distance-setting device, as is often used in polaroid cameras and a digital acoustic meter. The data is then processed using ordinary Pentium chips of 120 Megahertz, which is already relatively slow for computer chips. The objectives of this research, among others, for the mission of outer space, especially to recognize the environment and objects that exist on the planet or other objects laingit. In addition to security devices, such as identifying guests who enter the bank, or buildings that store important data. Also to help the sufferers of paralysis of the whole body to interact with the computer. Now proven, bats that once feared and have a negative image, it has a function that is able to help humanity.
So we already know that bats are not just a hero in batman's story, but bats are also very helpful in the development of technology that is currently in use humans. So from now on we must preserve the bat
They are amazing, but scare me! They are also protected here in UK.
fear is natural and human nature, but we must remember many technological advances for example sonar that we learn from animals, not only bats but all the animals we have to keep and preserve so that our grandchildren can still see it later
Oh yes @muklis, I absolutely agree with you. Does not stop me being scared of them though!
